'It seemed like they accomplished a lot of what they set out to do.'
July is the month of blockbusters, including arguably one of the most anticipated titles of 2023, Greta Gerwig's live-action Barbie. In a market oversaturated with remakes, reboots, and other projects from existing IP, Warner Bros. and Mattel seem to veer far away from the “rinse, wash repeat” approach to adapting a popular property and rather, give Gerwig and co-writer Noah Baumbach the creative control to use the iconic doll to deliver a highly unique cinematic experience.
During the interview, Peri Nemiroff noted her admiration for how the Barbie filmmakers were given the opportunity to swing big and tied that back to Rae’s own work as a prolific producer in the industry. When asked how seeing what was possible on Barbie might impact her own producing ambitions, Rae noted her IP fatigue, but also told Nemiroff that Gerwig and Baumbach's approach to Barbie made her more open-minded about that kind of storytelling.
"To be 100% honest, I’ve been IP-fatigued, you know? I’m just like, “Why does every movie have to be IP?!” But to see what Greta [Gerwig] and Noah [Baumbach] were able to do with the film, they made it their own. It was fun. They were able to make fun of Mattel in a way and Mattel embraced that. They got to write, essentially, what they wanted. Margot didn’t think that this would be made, and it seemed like they accomplished a lot of what they set out to do.
What to Expect From Barbie Barbie brings the iconic Mattel doll to life, set in the perfect society of Barbie Land where each Barbie takes on a version of the doll. Margot Robbie leads the charge as the Barbie, who begins to have an existential crisis when she notices changes in her life such as her impressively high arches going flat. So, she heads on a journey to the real world to search for answers, accompanied, of course, by Ken .
Barbie hits theaters on July 21. Watch the trailer below and Nemiroff's full interview in the player above:
